I definitely would not put a foundation under a house that's only got 6 under it--that will make any further remodeling nearly impossible, such as replumbing, rewiring, insulating, etc. Better to get it at least 24 off grade. Well, our problem is that the house is apparently not well supported with its current setup.
A Baker's cyst is swelling caused by fluid from the knee joint protruding to the back of the knee. Baker's cysts are common and can be caused by virtually any cause of joint swelling . A Baker's cyst may not cause symptoms or be associated with knee pain and/or tightness behind the knee, especially when the knee is extended or fully flexed. Baker's cysts can rupture and become complicated by spread of fluid down the leg between the muscles of the calf (dissection).
Often a Baker's cyst causes no pain. When symptoms occur, they may include: 1  Tightness or stiffness behind the knee. 2  Swelling behind the knee that may get worse when you stand.3  Slight pain behind the knee and into the upper calf.4  You are most likely to feel this when you bend your knee or straighten it all the way.f a cyst does not go away, or if it is causing a lot of pain, your doctor may drain the fluid with a needle. You also may be given a shot of steroid medicine to reduce swelling. You may need to use a cane or crutch and wrap your knee in an elastic bandage. In rare cases, a Baker's cyst is removed by surgery.
